Stunning terrain :-bd =D> :-bd =D> :-bd

But I must admit that I prefer the less spectacular but much more flexible various shapes under a base cloth with roads, fields etc added on top method. Much easier to produce and store and can be endlessly reused.

Many thanks for putting that up. I do like Bruce's towns and villages and the use of Woodland scenics style foam for large wooded areas. I also like producing rolling terrain under a cloth for flexibility with laid down roads and rivers, so combining the two systems.

You're welcome! That's exactly what I am planning on doing myself.

Very nice! In a different class!  :-bd

Would love to have that kind of terrain but, for me, realistically I think I'll stick to the green baize cloth thrown over polystyrene lumps hills.  :-<
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Looks splendid, no questioning that. But I wish someone would come up with clever little bases that refracted a matching finish, so that a company wasn't standing on a light green oblong on a dark brown ploughed field.

And I do know how to spell "ploughed", you electronic moron.

Bruce's table are indeed stunning to look at. Living in the former colony that is now the USA, he has plenty of space to store these terrain boards. Here in the UK we are not so lucky... :(

Talking of ploughed, is your electronic moron produced in the USA, where they seem to have rebuffed the mother tongue in favour of colonialese.

On the contrary, much of the difference between British English and US English is down to US retention of forms superseded in British English.

'fraid he's right, Leman. It was a shock, but I've gotten over it.

So if I ever make it to the USA and enter a "tavern" I should try something along the lines of:

Forsooth my man, hast thou a tankard of the libation Bud? I have gotten a mighty thirst about my person.
